CANADICE
- Mrs. Alice
Hartson Hicks,
wife of Mr.
Jno. M. Hicks,
died at the residence of her father Mr.
Asa Hartson,
of consumption, aged 22 years. Her illness has been protracted, and anxious
friends have tenderly cared for her, vainly hoping to arrest that flattering
disease, but despite their tender care, and the aid of medical skill, they saw
their loved one fade as the gentle flowers and droop and die. Not alone do those
who were near and dear to her lament her untimely departure, but others, for
Alice was one of our most lovely and highly esteemed young ladies, and had won
many friends by her gentleness and social affection, who now "weep with
those who weep."

But
three months since she became the wife of Mr.
Hicks; then
apparently, returning health, and the hope of much of happiness in future store,
made her a joyous and happy bride.

The
funeral services were conducted from the M.E. Church by the Rev. S.
M. Day of Honeoye,
in the presence of a very large congregation, and her remains deposited in the Canadice
Hollow cemetery.

CANADICE
- Samuel R. Hickok Esq. an old and respected resident of our town, died online
29th ult. at about sixty years of age. Mrs. Hickok was one of the prominent
citizens of our town and very much respected; his loss will be felt by the whole
community.

He
held the office of justice of the peace at the time of his death to which he had
been three times successively elected. He leaves a widow and a large family of children
most of whom are grown up. They have the sympathy of the whole
community. The funeral services were held at his late residence on the 1st inst.
the Rev. Wm. Hunter officiating. The remains were interred in the Canadice
Hollow cemetery.

On the 4th
inst., the oldest daughter of the widow O'Lahey died of consumption, aged about
twenty. It is but a few years since her father, John
O'Lahey, died of the
same disease, leaving a large family in reduced circumstances and this is the
second daughter the widow has buried since his death. She will greatly
miss their help in rearing the smaller children. The funeral services were held
at Honeoye and the remains taken to Canandaigua for interment.

Mr.
Orsemus Wemett and
Miss Emersetta Wemmett
of Canadice, were united in matrimony
at the Parsonage last Sunday, by the Rev, S.M.
Dayton.

Mrs. Emily
Mann died very suddenly at her home in East Springwater last Sunday
morning. She leaves a husband and their children to mourn the loss of one
of the best of wives and mothers. Her funeral services were held at the store
house near her home, and were largely attended. Sermon by S. M. Dayton of this
place.

The first
death in town we have had to record in some time, is that of Mrs. Brown
in
Canadice Hollow; she was the oldest person in town, being upward of ninety years
old. She died Oct. 28th, and was buried in the Hollow.

We
regret that the Wayland Press "shut shop" this week. Neighbor Morehouse is
not to be blamed, for no country printing office is earning its salt these
times. He probably "could a tale unfold" that would benefit us
all. Home papers should receive the support and entire influence of its
locality! Too many think taking it and not paying, is support! Too many with
more money than brains, think a city paper at one dollar much cheaper!

Sensible
people know that a newspaper in their town greatly increases the value of their
property as well as gives a standing to its name and morals.

Canadice:

We
learn that Wheeler Happaugh of Canadice Hollow is very sick with remittent
fever; we have not heard from him in some days.

On
the 26th, a party of the friends of M. D.
Ross, met at his residence on the
occasion of his 68th birthday and had a good time.

On
the 30th, Sarah Thayer, wife of
George Thayer, attempted suicide by taking
laudanum; George was awfully frightened and called on the neighbors who did all
they could, in spite of her resistance. The dose not being sufficient to cause
death; she is slowly recovering.

There has
been much excitement here during the past month, in regard to the sudden death
of the late Augustus
McCartey, photographer of this village, which occurred on
Thursday morning, July 11th. We give the facts in a brief, form as
follows:

On
Wednesday afternoon, July 10th, be, not feeling as well as usual, he went to Dr.
Stebbins, his family physician, to purchase some medicine; he said he was
troubled with chills and fever. The Dr. told him that he had better go to
some drug store and get about 40 grains of quinine, to be done up in four-grain
doses.

He
went to Maynard & Laning's drug store, corner of Linden and Seneca streets,
and asked for the said drug, Mr. Maynard waiting upon him.
Mr. M. took down the
quinine bottle, and found that there were not 40 grains in it; there being about
30 grains in the bottle; he called for another bottle, when he (Mr. Mc
Cartey)
said that would do, and when he had taken all of it, he would come and get more.

Mr.
Maynard took out of the bottle 28 grains, and did up two powders of four grains
each as sample powders, the rest (20 grains) did up by itself. Mr. McCarthy went
home and took one of the powders, at half past one o'clock and laid on the couch
and went to sleep.

When
he woke up he said he felt much better, and asked his wife if it was time for
him to take another power. He took the second power at precisely half-past five
o'clock; it was not long before he complained of feeling drowsy, and said he
would have to take another nap. He took the third powder a little after eight,
and died about twenty-two minutes past twelve o'clock.

An
inquest was held by Coroner Covert, and the stomach taken out and analyzed by
Prof. Towler, and found to be "sulphate of morphine" in the stomach;
the quinine bottle from which the powder
was taken, was also analyzed and found to be quinine. Now the great question is,
where did he get it.

There
were quite a number of witnesses sworn, and all tell a different story.
The jury brought in their verdict which was that "he died of morphine in
the stomach." The public are very much excited about the matter. Mr. Mc
Cartey, it is said, was never in the habit of taking morphine, but took quinine
quite frequently when not feeling well.

The
people know just as much about it now as they did before the coroner's
inquest. The whole thing is a mystery, and it may be solved some day. Mr.
M. has for many years lived here; he came from Waterloo about 20 years ago; he was
respected by all who knew him, and led a quiet and happy life, never going into
society but very little.

His
funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Hogarth
of the North Presbyterian
church, and was largely attended. July 31st, 1878.

CANADICE, March, 15.h, 1880 -
Death has again visited this community, and taken from among us one who was an
ornament to society and a worthy member of the M. E. Church, Mrs Genie
Owen, wife of Gilbert Owen, and daughter of James
Hoagland, died on the 8th
inst. of consumption. The funeral services were held at the M. E. Church on the
8th inst., by the pastor Rev. A. H. Maryott,
and her remains were deposited in the cemetery in Canadice Hollow.
Her death has cast a gloom over a large circle or mourning relatives and
sympathizing friends.

The mother of
C. G. McCrossen of Honeoye, died at her
home in Michigan,
last Sunday. The remains were
brought on Tuesday to the Canadice Hollow cemetery. Her age was about 80 years.
[this would be Rebecca McCrossen]

Mrs.
Harman Wilcox died
Sunday morning March 4, after a short illness. She was a sister of Wm.
Rippey, of this
place, and George
Rippey, of Lyon's
Hollow. She leaves a husband and an aged, widowed mother, who with a large
number of friends in this community greatly mourn her loss.

On
Thursday afternoon as Harvey
Brown was returning
borne from the Corners on foot, he fell dead in the road near the line between
his farm and that of Albert
Wicks and was found
a few minutes later by J.
S. VanDoren and
C. B. Hyde, who
immediately carried him to his home. The death of Mr.
Brown thus suddenly
was a great shock to his family and especially Mrs.
Brown, who has very
poor health.

Mr.
Brown was a quiet,
honest man, and a good neighbor. He was born in Herkimer Co., in 1899, being 79
years old, and having lived in this town more than 60 years. The funeral was
held at the Church on Sunday, the remains being interred in the Canadice
Hollow Cemetery.

The
funeral of Carlin McCrossen was held from his late home, 420 Columbia avenue,
Rochester, at 2

o'clock
on the 27th ult., and a more public
one at Mt. Hope chapel an hour later, the Rev. Franklin J.
Kennedy, of the Corn Hill Methodist church, officiating.

There
were many beautiful floral pieces, including a pillow given by the Rochester
electric railroad employees, Division No. 22; a large piece from the Woodmen of
the World; one from the board of health, of which he had been a member; one from
the Odd Fellows; one from his children, and others from friends. The Odd Fellows
had charge of the services.

If
Carlin's spirit could have hovered over that scene and witnessed those lovely
flowers, the tears and sadness of that large assemblage of men, he would have
realized, as he probably never realized in life, how much he was loved and
mourned.

The
remains were placed in a vault. In the spring he will be buried in the
Canadice Hollow cemetery, where
so many of his, relatives and schoolmates have found their resting place.
*** Hemlock, Feb. 3.

Last
Saturday, a much needed work was started on the Canadice Hollow cemetery,
which has been neglected for some time. The people, who either have friends or
relatives buried there are donating money or labor. They plan to have it graded
and to hire a caretaker. Mrs.
Byron Jerome,
graciously opened her home where dinner was served to the workmen. The
town has set aside $59 for the cemetery to promote the work. Ameeting was held
and Harry
Coykendall of
Rochester was elected secretary and treasurer. Work will be resumed
Wednesday and any contribution, either labor or money, will be greatly
appreciated.

Theodore G. McCrossen, 47, of Rochester, died Wednesday, June 21, at the home
of her sister Mrs. T. H. Miller,
of Clary road, Livonia, after an illness of over seven
months. She has been confined to her bed at the Miller home more or less for the
last two months.Mrs.
McCrossen was formerly Miss
Dora Harroun and was born in Rochester, where she had lived most
of her life.

Mr.

in the vicinity of Livonia and Hemlock, who are deeply
grieved at her passing .
